Gaming Signal: Gaming Tidbits For 04/27/06

Gaming Tidbits For 04/27/06

Some interesting, if targeted, stuff for you today:

First up, TooHuman.net is a website dedicated to the upcoming Silicon Knights game, Too Human. Some interesting articles here, especially the series covering the influence of the Norse mythos on the story of Too Human.
ByteSector has a preview of Too Human posted. They have several kick butt screenies for you to drool over. I'd say this game is jumping up my personal hype ladder.
Speaking of Silicon Knights, they have started a blog on everyone's favorite gaming site, IGN.COM. They will be covering all aspects of the game's development, and the first post even has a really cool wallpaper for you to download. Sweet.
Moving on to Tim's favorite gaming site, 1UP, we find that Electronic Gaming Monthly Magazine now has a podcast. No word as to whether the podcast lives up to the 'quality' of the print magazine. I will listen to see though.
We all like free right? Well, if you have an Xbox (360), the week of May 8 - 14 will be a free Xbox Live Gold Week! If you have an Xbox Live account, it will be upgraded to Gold for free, for the week of E3. Us 360 owners get a gratis Silver account, so I'll be there! Apparently, Verizon will be giving out 1 Million Xbox Points over that week too. Not sure how that will work. I wonder how much they paid MS to sponsor this week? Good move on MS' part though, another revenue stream.
For Pete, we have the Dead Or Alive movie trailer. I'mpretty sure words are unnecessary at this point.
Fight the powa and give your Xbox 360 a voice! Sign up and your 360 will start its own blog. Mine is rather lonely right now. Buck up little box, I'll be hooking you up right quick!
Check out these new Battlefield 2142 screenshots. If you think I'm a tank whore now in BF2, wait till I get to drive a mech... Don't forget to watch the trailer.
Siliconera is reporting that there will be a Too Human demo available in advance of E3 on XBL Marketplace. Sweet! And this for a game not due out until October.
Tomb Raider Chronicles has a site detailing the Evolution Of Lara Croft. Specifically, they cover all the models that have played Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider ad campaigns. You're welcome Pete.
Bethesda Softworks has a nifty news site for their upcoming Star Trek games, Legacy (PC/360) and Tactical Assault (PSP/DS). Both of these look like auto buys for me. Check out the 360 screenies for Legacy. Holy Horta Cpt. Kirk!
